I have this small scratch (door ding) and I applied touch up paint that I purchased from BMW. After applying it, I noticed that the surface of touch up paint spot is higher than the rest of the car. Is there a way to sand it down so that it can be even with the rest of the car?
Is it too late to use any of these products now? I touched up the car yesterday and if I order these products, wouldnt the paint will be too dry to use it?
try to use some paint thinner on a dry cloth and rub the touch up paint...try it some where less noticeable 1st... most people dont know how to apply touchup paint and usually mess it up worse Get artist brushes from an art supply store with pin like tips..:thumbup: Also dr colorchip is great
i wish I knew about dr colorchip before doing it. I was being real careful but I dont think there is anyway to avoid those blogs. I will try some paint thinner to see if that works. I rather use a product that is meant to remove running paint.
How is the color match? I worry when they say they will match the color as it is very hard to really match a color (not to mention sun fade, etc). What color did you have good results with??
Thanks Kevinp and peakpro. My ZHP is a DD with a 100mi a day commute so I have lots of $#%#$#@&%&$#@ chips already. I think I will try colorchip as my previous experiments with touchup was OK but not worthy of my current pride and joy.
Yes, I have used DRCOLORCHIP on the fender with great results
